    Coilovers for TDI different than for T(F)SI?

    Hello!

    I have the chance to buy a set of KW V2 from a friend for a very good price.
    His car is an A3 with the 2.0 TFSI engine, manual gearbox, mine is an A3 with the 2.0 TDI engine and DSG.
    Someone told me that they won't fit my car. We both have 55mm diameter dumpers an I never tougth that beside the diameter there is something ele that can differ.

    Should I buy them? Will they fit?

    Maybe the weight of the TDi is heavier over the front axle and the coil spring tension won't be harmonized for your car if you use TFSi set up.

    What warren said.

    They will fit but the spring rate will be ever so slightly different. I wouldn't worry about it tbh.
